Andy Murray reveals his spot of bother with noisy neighbours and Rafael Nadal

Andy Murray’s preparations for the Sony Open in Miami could be disrupted by his noisy neighbours.

His sleep could be in short supply if his neighbours decide to go away during the tournament and leave their children in charge of their luxury pad.

‘I have a nice apartment in Miami. I spend three months a year training there and it has a nice view over South Beach and Key Biscayne,’ said Murray, who bought the desirable residence with some of his £18million ATP Tour winnings.

‘The people next door to me have a young family and they keep me up quite a lot. When the parents are out it gets a bit rowdy on occasions.’

Murray, currently playing in the ATP Indian Wells where he faces Milos Raonic today, will be staying at his Florida base when the Sony Open starts on Monday.

He will be hoping to beat a top field which includes Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal who recently played a prank on the British No.1.

‘Rafa has played quite a few pranks on me over the years and I am still waiting to get him back,’ Murray told the Dan LeBatard radio show in Miami.

‘I was in a restaurant in New York sitting at a dinner table with my girlfriend and I got a text message from a number I didn’t recognise saying ”you look great tonight, it’s is such a shame you are with your girlfriend”.

‘I didn’t say anything to my girlfriend because I didn’t want to ruin the whole evening but I was looking around the restaurant trying to see if there was someone I knew.

‘At the end of dinner Rafa came over and gave me a tap on my shoulder. He had sent the message from his girlfriend’s phone. I’m still waiting to get him back.’
